My Hair Description: I have long black wavy hair, very thick.
I color my hair once every two months to cover the white and gray hair.
Age: 38
Scalp and Hair Condition: Normal to Oily

Overall Experience:

Ease of use - The Instense Repair Shampoo is easy to squeeze, and the flip top cap is a winner. I am this kind of clumsy person that if I remove the cap, and i am bound to lose it.


Texture - Just right for a shampoo, so I can easily apply it to my hair. Rich,creamy, nice feel on the scalp.

Scent - mild scent, easy on the nose, please have more scent like this one, love it.

Packaging - simple and functional and economical.

Changes to your hair:

Smoothness- it feels very squeaky clean after shampoo. The first time I tried it, it was after a sweaty Zumba class, and it did drain all the excess oils. Now that I said that, there are frizz coming out. Ouch! Luckily, I use it with the Repair Masque and it did wonders.

Moisture level- I think the moisture level applies only to the Repair Mask, this Shampoo is suppose to give it clean feeling and it does.

Healthy appearance - Hair looks fuller, and very squeaky clean.

Compare to other products you tried in the past? This one so far is the shampoo that deep

cleans oily scalp and cleanses sweat drenched hair, better than my regular shampoo.



Would you consider purchasing these products in the future and recommend to friends?

It works! Yes,

Received this product as a product review so can't comment on the price but this is a really amazing product! It's not overly scented and overall easy to work with. Don't need very much to work up a good lather. I immediately noticed a difference to my hair. It was a lot smoother. In the past, I would need to use another (smoothing) product on top of shampoo and conditioner prior to blow drying to get rid of the frizz, but with this L'Oreal shampoo and the conditioner (repair masque), I didn't need anything else and the hair came out really smooth after blow drying. Hair looks really healthy and shiny. I would definitely recommend this to others and would recommend this over any other "repair" shampoos out there.

I was super excited to receive this product to review as my hair could definitely use to help! First off I have long hair...more than halfway down my back. It's pretty thick.....and big....and tends to get dry and extra unmanageable in the winter months. I've been using this shampoo every day since it showed up on my doorstep.....so for about 3 straight weeks.

I must say I was very surprised with how well this product worked! It has a very light/thin texture which at first made me worry that I'd have to use a ton of it to get my whole head lathered up, but not so much.....a little went a long way. This shampoo definitely had a scent as well........it reminded me a bit of banana......it was okay, but not great. After my first wash and dry my hair felt immediately softer and easier to work with.....and my frizz seemed to be a lot less. 3 weeks later and I'm still experiencing good results......my hair seems healthier and more manageable......and feels much silkier than before. Overall, I would have to say this is a really great product.....and would love to use it regularly....but the price is quite high. Do I think the price would be worth it......probably.....but it' not something that fits in with my finances right now.....and even if it did, honestly, I'd still have a hard time paying that much for a shampoo. To those who are willing to spend that much on hair products....go for it! It's a great product and you won't be disappointed!

I have been trying this product for a couple weeks now and have liked it. The first thing about it that i noticed was the great smell. Very fresh and tropical. That being said i was dissapointed in the fact that the scent disapeared very quickly after drying my hair.

I found my hair very moisturized, especially when used with the mask. My olnly complaint being that since i have a lot of hair i usually try and find shampoos that do not add to the thrickness/fullness of my hair. I found after using this product along with the mask that my hair was almost too full and therefore heavy. My roomate uses this product on a regular basis already and she has thin hair, so for her this is perfect. I know she would recommened this product to anyone especially those with her hair type. I however do not feel that for the price i was completly happy with the result. Not a bad product. Just not something for me. As it is considered a professional product it is rather pricy for a rather small bottle. Many other professional shampoos come at almost if not double the size for alot less price.

Thank you to the product review club for allowing me to sample and review this product. It is a product that i have been wanting and meaning to try.

The first thing i noticed when receiving this shampoo was how great it smelled! very tropical and smelled like pineapple to me which was very nice. i thought it worked very well with my hair and felt it leaving clean and hydrated without that greasy feeling. i felt it worked better than other moisturizing shampoos i have tried in the past and my hair was very easy to detangle after the shower. i would like to use this shampoo again but i think it is probably very expensive in the stores. i'm glad i had a chance to try it out!

I like this shampoo. It has a pleasant scent and is mild. I chuckled at the directions which said to "rinse carefully". I didn't find that this shampoo was more difficult to rinse than any other shampoo, so I'm not sure what this direction is getting at.

The shampoo is moisturizing without being too greasy or causing build up. I used it with a different conditioner instead of the masque it is supposed to be used with and liked the results.

That said, it's a pretty small bottle for $30, so I wouldn't buy this product again unless it was on sale. It works good, but not so amazingly that I would be willing to pay that much for such a small amount of product. It works similar to cheaper alternatives.

I have been using this product for a couple of weeks. The product feels creamy and has a light, fresh scent. I've found that the scent disappears from your hair after drying. It lathers nicely and doesn't leave a residue in your hair. My hair felt thicker and smoother after a few uses. Alone I didn't see a difference in moisture level but combined with the L'oreal Professional Intense Repair Masque, my hair was much less dry. I would recommend this product and I feel that it's performance is highly competitive with other similar products on the market.

*I received this product through the Chickadvisor Product Review Club.

I have been using this shampoo for several weeks now and overall the product is pretty good. Love the scent of the shampoo - kind of smells like watermelon - very fruity. The shampoo was not overtly thick, but it has the right amount of creamy thickness - very easy to put on the hair. I noticed after the first wash - my hair felt a lot smoother, Usually when I shampoo my hair it feels coarse, usually have to put conditioner in it to feel smooth, but noticed that after the shampoo that it was feeling soft. In comparison to other product that claim to restore/moisturize - would have to rate this product more on the better end - although not the best product out there. It is a little pricey for such a small bottle. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone with damaged hair because it is pretty effective and the results are almost immediate! If you're looking to try the shampoo would highly recommend that you buy the intense repair masque too as they work together.

I tried the L'oreal professional intense repair shampoo and masque through Chick-advisor's Review Club. I enjoyed the packaging of the shampoo bottle, as it was easy to handle, and the cap flipped up and it was easy to pour. I didn't like the packaging of the Masque as much. As this was a twist off cap, it was much harder to scoop a dab of the masque onto my hand and the screw the cap back on while in the shower. I would genearlly get some of the masque onto the cap while screwing it on. And it's much easier for water to get into the product. I did find the shampoo and masque helped my hair though. I really liked the subtle sent, and as I have really dry hair, i found that after using it for a couple of weeks my hair was much less dry.

When I first popped open the cap of the shampoo bottle, I loved the scent that touched my nose. This L'Oreal shampoo is definitely one of the best-smelling that I've ever owned! It's nice and creamy, and is very smooth when applied. I haven't seen a noticeable difference in my hair quality yet, but I know that products usually need to be used for at least one month for there to be a visible difference. I would definitely consider buying it again in the future because of the wonderful scent! And I particularly like the packaging. I would definitely suggest this shampoo :)
